Origin and history

The house located at 53 rue du Maréchal-Foch in Dambach-la-Ville, in the Lower Rhine, is a historic monument registered since January 6, 1930. This building, whose facades and roof are protected, illustrates the civil architecture of the 4th quarters of the 16th and 17th centuries, periods marked by urban transformations and varied stylistic influences in Alsace. Its registration reflects its heritage value, although details of its original use or historical occupants remain little documented in available sources.

Dambach-la-Ville, a commune in the Greater East, is part of a territory where traditional habitat often reflects cultural exchanges between France and Germany. The houses of that time generally served as housing for artisans, merchants or wealthy families, playing a central role in local economic and social life. Their preservation, like that of this house, allows us to understand the evolution of construction techniques and lifestyles in Alsace at the hinge of the Renaissance and modern times.

According to available data, the house was built under the control of Georges Krub, although the archives do not specify its exact role in the works. The historic address, originally registered as 78 rue du Maréchal-Foch, has been updated to match the current number. The location, assessed as satisfactory a priori (level 6/10), suggests a clear identification of the building, despite the lack of detailed architectural details in the sources consulted (Wikipedia, Monumentum).
